GUEST,Patricia Averill	Holding hands and singing 'Kumbaya' (68* d)	RE: Holding hands and singing 'Kumbaya'	27 Aug 17
Last December I went into Amazon and YouTube to find versions of "Kumbaya" and "Come by Here" and was surprised at how many existed - literally hundreds. The Kumbaya Moment may have given "Kumbaya" a bad name, but it hasn't affected its international popularity. I started a new website to describe some of these new variants. My plan is to alternate posts between the two and compare how each treats a common theme. So far I've discussed some religious uses of the songs, and how live performances differ from recordings. I'm now discussing some of the versions most widely imitated in recent years, like those of Lightnin' Hopkins and Kurt Carr. The address is easy to remember: http://www.kumbayacomebyhere.com/
